I am getting ready to buy a new camera. I have owned a point and shoot Olympus since that camera was introduced. I also own a 35mm Pentax P3, and it is over 20 years old and works as good today as the day I got it. I am not completely abandoning my 35mm film camera, but digital will suit me better since you do not have to print everything and that = cheaper.
I am considering three cameras and the K-10 is one of those. I have two very important questions to those of you that already own a K-10. This is my two main concerns.
1. Are your JPEG images as sharp and colorful as standard when you change the setting on the camera? I know at default setting the camera lacks.

2. Has anyone had trouble with the LCD display on top of the camera? My old point and shoot had a display on top, and it went dark after about one year.

Thanks for your reply. I am going to get the included lens - the Pentax DA 18-55mm. That is about all I can do right now, but once I get the hang of this camera I may get a better lens later. What do you think of the lens that comes with the camera?

The 18-55mm is a good lens to start with. However, I've complained about the vignetting at small f. Pentax has another lens with very close range, the 16-45mm, said to be better, but I' haven't tested it. If you could afford, go for the 50-200mm, which provides a clearly better image quality.

The K10D comes with multiple bundles with lens at very aggressive prices. For example, the body only is rated at USD 660 and the body + 18-55mm bundle has a price tag of USD 730, that is, USD 70 only for the lens!
